Method

Infuse the basil in cream (remove overnight, covered with cling film).

Strawberry jelly balls

  • Soak the gelatin #2 in ice cold water.
  • Cut the strawberries into small pieces, and put in a saucepan.
  • Combine the sugar #2 with starch, add the strawberries, and warm up until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the lime juice #2, mix well, and add the squeezed gelatin #2.
  • Pour the mass into round silicone molds with a diameter of 2.5cm (1 inch), and freeze.
  • Then connect the halves into balls.

Cheese mass

  • Beat both types of cheese with lime juice #1, sugar #1, condensed milk and cream #2 in a mixer.
  • Strain the cream #1, and bring to a boil. Add the gelatin #1 (squeezed and pre-soaked in water). Cool the mix slightly, and add it to the cheese mass.
  • Beat again, and add the zest.

Dessert assembly

  • Cover the bottom of the mold with foil.
  • Pour the cheese mass into the mold, adding the strawberry jelly balls randomly.
  • Freeze the dessert for 8-10 hours. Defrost it in the fridge.
  • Decorate at your discretion.
